[TRAINING AND DIET]

Back in the gym Monday night. Same old workout- this time Upper Body again. Stayed in the same 6-8 rep range. Only this time I only went ot failure on the main compound execises, not biceps, flyes or rear delt raises. Got an excellent pump going, and I think the culprit is my pre workout carbs!

What did I eat?

Well, on the advice of a crazy sup store owner I socialize with on occasion (no, not DP... a local guy up here) I was told to eat frozen peas and cream of wheat! Well, I didn't have cream of wheat so I went with 1/3 cup of brown rice instead, alone with 3 whole eggs.

PRE WORKOUT MEAL
1/2 bag frozen peas (25 C)
1/3 cup brown rice (35 C, 4 P, 2 F)
3 whole eggs (21 P, 15 F)

TOTALS: 25 P/17 F/60 C

Not only was the meal delicious (I sort of blended everything together and added soy sauce like fried rice) it provided me with an insane pump! Not exactly sure why, but maybe this lunatic is onto something!

Post workout carbs were 1 cup of steel cut oats/oat bran/rice bran/rolled oats mixture with 1 scoop of protein powder. I'm staying low GI for a while, I don't think the simple sugars agree with my stomach!

[TRAINING]

Ok, I couldn't wait until Friday, so I did full body on Wednesday! Upper Body in the 8-10 rep range, Legs in the 12-15 rep range. Most exercises were taken to failure, but not all. After this I'm taking 2 workouts OFF failure to recooperate the CNS. I was at a crappy gym so some of the exercises were varied a bit from what I usually do.

I did:

Chinups x 1
Incline DB Bench x 1
Bent Barbell Row x 1
Military Press x 1
Lat Pulldown x 1
Close Grip Bench Press x 1
Barbell Curls x 1
Smith Machine Squat x 2
Leg Press x 1
Leg Curls x 1
Leg Extension x 1
Calf Raises x 1

That's it. 12 sets. Post workout meal:

1/2 cup brown rice
1 bag frozen peas
6 oz salmon

Next few days will be:

Thursday- Off/Cardio
Friday- Upper (8-12) no failure and Lower (12-15) to failure
Saturday- Cardio
Sunday- Off/Cardio
Monday- Upper (6-8) and Lower (8-12), no failure
Tuesday- Off/Cardio
Wednesday- Upper (6-8) to failure and Lower (8-12), no failure

Hows that look to yall?
